Storage requirements for the true archivist never shrink

Boy, ain't that the truth, and you don't really even have to want to be an
archivist. I've got people asking if I still have the 8 track tape sessions
we did 8 years ago and it's like, "Why the hell would I want to hold onto
your music if you weren't interested in doing it?" (my winning personality,
don't you know). But then I'll go back and look, and yep, there it is. So
now I need something that will allow me to track 8 tracks to DVD directly so
that I can finally try and sell this Tascam 38 that I haven't even used
since I had it totally refurbished a year ago.

I mean, supposedly I have a studio, but most of the money in the last 5
years has gone to live setups (I now have 3) and archiving and CD burning.
Oh, and video. It's starting to look like the "old man who loves books'"
house where there's only a small path between the pieces of equipment, and
in order to move quickly through it one must turn sideways and kinda hop and
skip through the maze. I still haven't installed that 52X speed Plextor
Kurt turned me onto, and, in fact, have loaned it to JnyVee because of some
problem he had with his Mac. Now how is it that equipment leaves the house
before I've even gotten a chance to use it? g

I suppose I'll just have to raise the level of justification requirement
again until I can't justify buying ANYTHING new.
